What is so silly about this is Scott Adams isn’t even asking for help with a denial of coverage. This privileged and apparently hapless man is asking the president for help scheduling an appointment with Kaiser

This physician and medical assistant pair at work on Halloween
Two women I work with dressed as Ula and Doug from 50 First Dates. Ula has a mop for hair and a coconut bra on top of a pink t shirt and Doug is wearing a mesh top with fake muscles, sunglasses, and a backwards baseball cap. It is glorious

Every morning at Providence hospitals there is a prayer of sorts over the intercom and most of the time the ones at our little hospital usually are not religious but just generally about humanity. I missed the beginning of this one but it was about the power of kindness

What I actually wrote:
Comment:
I am an ob-gyn. I have cared for patients, including pregnant patients, severely ill with COVID, many of whom had no pre-existing conditions. COVID vaccination decreases the risk for hospitalization and mortality. It is incredibly short-sighted to decrease its availability for anyone who wants to protect themselves. I think you all know that these vaccines are safe and the abundance of data shows that they are. The FDA engaging in politically motivated fear-mongering about vaccines is shameful and counter to the mission of the agency.

This is the stone circle of all stone circles, at least in terms of engineering. I wasn’t able to sacrifice anyone on this one - they wouldn’t let us close enough. Love, GrampaA postcard that reads:
